[25:44]

Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?

[25:45]

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;

[25:46]

[25:47]

And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.

[25:48]

And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,

[25:49]

That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.

[25:50]

And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.

[25:51]

And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.

[25:54]

And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.

[25:55]

Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.
